Scientific Software Developer

In my role as a scientific software developer, I enhance the workflows of researchers and clinical staff at the Child Mind Institute. I specialize in bringing AI tooling to the end-user.

Software Engineer

As a software engineer at Ordina, I am dedicated to delivering high-quality Python solutions that bring value to our customers. In my role, I work closely with clients to understand their needs and develop custom solutions that meet their unique challenges and goals.

PhD Candidate

During my PhD, I focused on the application of statistical methods and machine learning to improve our understanding of the human brain. This work resulted in scientific advances in the field, including new insights into the connections of the temporal lobe, as well as the development of open-source toolboxes that enable other researchers to use advanced statistical and manifold learning methods.

Ordina

Skills: Python • FastAPI • PyTorch • Docker • mySQL • ElasticSearch • S3 • RabbitMQ

The Dutch police have a substantial amount of audio data from criminal investigations. However, identifying unknown speakers in these files requires significant manual effort. To tackle this issue, I am collaborating with the Vox team at Ordina to develop a Minimum Viable Product AI solution that can automatically identify speakers in these files. Our work involves creating a scalable web application that enables non-experts to generate and compare vocal "fingerprints" extracted from recordings.

Personal Website

Skills: Typescript • HTML • CSS • React

Well... You're looking at it :-).

BrainSpace

Skills: NumPy • Git • Manifold Learning • Non-Parametric Statistics

As part of my PhD studies I developed and maintained BrainSpace, a toolbox for manifold learning of brain connectivity data and the statistical analaysis of these manifolds. This toolbox allowed researchers without significant programming experience to perform advanced statistical procedures. This toolbox has been used in hundreds of scientific papers by researchers around the world.

MSc Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience

I was enrolled in the C-track (cognition) of this Master's program. Part of my training was in the Hyder lab at Yale University. This work led to a scientific publication on the effects of various statistical corrections on MRI signals.

BSc Liberal Arts and Science

My studies at the University of Utrecht focussed on neuroscience and molecular cell biology. My Bachelor's thesis was written on which nerves in the human eye process cues from which areas of the visual field.

Azure Developer Associate (AZ-204)

Earning Azure Developer Associate certification validates the skills and knowledge to design, build, test, and maintain cloud applications and services on Microsoft Azure. Candidates participate in all phases of cloud development from requirements definition and design, to development, deployment, and maintenance.

Tensorflow Developer Certificate

This certificate tests a developer's foundational knowledge of integrating machine learning into tools and applications. The certificate program requires an understanding of building TensorFlow models using Computer Vision, Convolutional Neural Networks, Natural Language Processing, and real-world image data and strategies.

Green Belt for Python Developer

Security journey teaches best practices and defensive tactics for application and product security. Green belt certifies that the candidate has 1) foundational knowledge of application security, 2) in-depth knowledge of security principles, attacks, tools, and processes, and 3) language specific AppSec knowledge.
